Chapter 1223 Teasing
Seeing that Lin Hao and Jia Kuan were about to leave, Jiang Nan suddenly said:
"By the way, your house is finished being renovated. The formaldehyde removal team said it has met the requirements for moving in, so you can move in anytime!"

"Is the renovation finished?!" Lin Hao said happily, "Finally, we can move out of the hotel!"

At this moment, Jiang Nan looked at Lin Hao and asked, "Aren't you going to invite anyone to a housewarming party?"

Jiang Nan felt a little expectant, thinking about Lin Hao's invitation to the housewarming party.

"Housewarming?" Lin Hao noticed Jiang Nan's little scheme and pretended to think, "You know what, this new house really does need a housewarming."

Then Lin Hao said earnestly to Jiang Nan, "Here, I would like to formally invite Miss Jiang Nan to attend my housewarming party!"

"Great!" Jiang Nan was overjoyed at Lin Hao's earnest invitation.

"Okay, that's settled for today!" Lin Hao said, and prepared to leave.

Jia Kuan wasn't blind; looking at Lin Hao and Jiang Nan, he felt that the two were somewhat different from before.

"What are you standing there for?" Lin Hao asked, pulling Jia Kuan aside when he saw him staring blankly.

"Wait, what's going on here?"

"What? What's going on?" Lin Hao glanced at Jia Kuan and said, "Nothing's going on!"

Lin Hao turned and left, not bothering to talk to Jia Kuan. However, Jia Kuan asked curiously:

"Then why are you going?"

"Let's eat!" Lin Hao said as he stepped into the elevator, "We're moving to a new place soon, we have to go out and celebrate!"

"Who are you eating with?" Jia Kuan asked curiously.

“Zhou Yiming!” Lin Hao said matter-of-factly.

"What about me?" Jia Kuan asked anxiously, "Why weren't you invited to the gathering?"

"Didn't you already know?" Lin Hao said with a matter-of-fact expression, then finally looked helpless and asked, "So, are you going or not?"

"Of course we're going! Only a fool wouldn't go and take down a rich guy!" Lin Hao's simple words instantly made Jia Kuan forget about Jiang Nan.

"Then hurry up and call Zhou Yiming!" Lin Hao said.

"No, so you haven't notified him yet!" Jia Kuan suddenly realized.

When the three of them came to university, they frequented a barbecue restaurant, and Zhou Yiming was already waiting for them.

So after Lin Hao and Jia Kuan sat down, the waiter brought out the grilled meat: "The skewers are here!"

"You two are really something!" Jia Kuan said with a look of disgust.

"A senior director and a big boss, they finally get together for a meal, and this is what they eat?"

Zhou Yiming handed Lin Hao a few skewers of grilled meat, then said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with eating this? Kuan'er, don't forget your roots!"

"Back when this place was just a shady food stall, we ate here!"

Lin Hao continued, "So, what we're eating is skewers?"

"This is about sentiment!" Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming said in unison.

"Sentimentality?" Jia Kuan said with a look of disdain, "What kind of sentimentality is this!"

"We finally get to eat out, can't we at least have something nice to eat? Can't we go somewhere else?"

"Sure, it's your treat!" Lin Hao said while eating the barbecue, "You tell me what you want to eat!"

"Why should I treat you?" Jia Kuan said matter-of-factly, "You two earn more money than me, why should I treat you!"

"Kuan'er, have you no shame?!" Zhou Yiming started counting on his fingers, recounting past grievances:

"All these years, if it weren't for me paying you to come out, or Lin Hao paying you to come out, you'd only be bringing your mouth with you!"

"Shouldn't I bring my mouth with me?" Jia Kuan said with an air of self-righteousness.

"As the only one who got laid off, even if I wanted to hire you guys, I'd need to have the money!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Just eat here, and have a small beer, right?" Lin Hao said, raising his beer.

"It'll satisfy my cravings, relieve my laziness, and soothe my back pain. Let's have Brother Kuan pay the bill!"

"It rhymes!" Zhou Yiming also raised his beer.

"Come on, come on!" Lin Hao touched hands with Zhou Yiming and Jia Kuan respectively before seriously saying to him, "You're treating today!"

"Alright, alright, it's on me!" Jia Kuan replied generously, knowing the food wouldn't cost much. "Let's drink!"

After finishing his drink, Zhou Yiming noticed Lin Hao staring at the people at the next table, so he patted Lin Hao and asked, "What are you looking at!"

"What can you see?" Jia Kuan said with a look of disdain, "Looking at the female students!"

Then Jia Kuan suddenly realized and said, "I know you two now. That's why you keep coming here to eat, all this talk about nostalgia. You two are just like that, you're still up to no good!"

"No, let me see what's wrong!" Lin Hao put down the iron skewer and asked as if it were a matter of course:
You want to see it? Do you even have the right to? You're a married man, but I'm single now. What's wrong with me taking a look?
"I'll watch, I'll watch, I'll keep watching, I'll make you angry!" Lin Hao said, while deliberately looking around.

It turned out that Zhou Yiming was also looking at beautiful women, so he slapped Zhou Yiming hard and said:
"You're the one who's talking! You already have a girlfriend and you still won't settle down. If you keep looking, your junior will beat you up!"

"How dare you talk about others like that!" Jia Kuan looked at Lin Hao with sarcasm, then said to Zhou Yiming:
"Yiming, do you remember back in college, when someone asked Jian Ai for her phone number, you got into a fight with four or five people and got beaten up like a pulp!"

Zhou Yiming also said sarcastically, "Of course I remember, he's just forgetting the pain once the wound has healed!"

"Shut up! Why are you bringing up something you don't want to talk about?" Lin Hao said irritably. "You're just being a sour grapes!"

Zhou Yiming said with a smile, "We're eating grapes without spitting out the grape skins!"

"You'd be more likely to spit out the grape skins than eat the grapes!" Lin Hao said while eating.

Just then, Jia Kuan's phone rang, so Jia Kuan said in a low voice:
"My wife is calling, I'll go outside to answer it, it's too noisy in here to hear her!"

"What? I can't hear you!" Zhou Yiming said to the phone in a deliberately cheeky tone, "Sister Xia, we're eating skewers right now, and there are lots and lots of female students around us!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Zhou Yiming is over here, he's been drinking and is talking gibberish!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, eat it while it's hot!"

Watching Jia Kuan walk away, Zhou Yiming suddenly asked, "Is the optimization project finished, Brother Kuan? Have you asked him? Who is he planning to go to?"

"Going to Xingyao, dreaming of returning as the king!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Wow, he's got pretty high aspirations!" Zhou Yiming thought for a moment and said, "So we can't let this kid get away with this!"

"What do you mean?" Lin Hao asked curiously.

"Let's scare him a little!" Zhou Yiming pointed outside and said to Jia Kuan, who was bowing and scraping as he answered the phone, "Otherwise, this meal will be so boring!"

"Well, what's the harm in beating a child on a cloudy, rainy day? We've got nothing better to do!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Come on, come on!" The two then clinked cans of beer together.

Just then, the waiter came over with a tray and said, "Hello, your kidneys are here!"

Just then, Jia Kuan returned after finishing his phone call, and Zhou Yiming looked at him with pity and said:

"Tell me, Kuan'er, what are you going to do from now on?!"

"Yiming, what are you saying!" Lin Hao immediately stopped him, then pretended to be serious and started acting.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault!" Zhou Yiming said as if he had said something wrong, "I'll punish myself with a can!" "No, no, no, what do you mean!" Jia Kuan immediately got angry upon hearing this, feeling a bad premonition.

"It doesn't mean anything!" Lin Hao said, deliberately trying to cover it up.

"Don't ask anymore, it will only cause more trouble!" Zhou Yiming comforted him, but his face showed regret.

"No, what exactly happened? What do you mean?" Jia Kuan asked anxiously.

"Hurry up and eat!" Lin Hao comforted him with a heavy expression, "Eat as much as you can while you're in a good mood!"

"How am I supposed to eat if you only say half of what you mean? What's going on?" Sensing that Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming weren't joking, Jia Kuan was genuinely anxious: "I'm so worried!"

"Nothing's wrong!" Zhou Yiming chimed in.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Jia Kuan said sternly. "If you don't tell me, I'll really get angry!"

Zhou Yiming then looked at Lin Hao and said solemnly, "Why don't we just tell him? We'll have to tell him sooner or later anyway!"

"Alright!" Lin Hao pondered for a moment, about to speak, but then sighed, keeping Jia Kuan's mood on the edge of its seat.

Finally, Lin Hao opened his mouth and said with a heavy expression:

"Kuan'er, I'm sorry, Xiong Yao has already found a more suitable person to replace you in your position!"

"No way!" Jia Kuan said with a wronged expression, "My future depends on you! How can it be gone!"

"I did my best, buddy, really!" Lin Hao sighed and said.
"But there's nothing we can do. Just eat and drink what you want now. It's not a big deal. If it really doesn't work out, we can just find another job!"

"What kind of job am I supposed to look for!" Jia Kuan said with a wronged expression. "I'm already this old, what can I do!"

After saying that, Jia Kuan quickly realized something was wrong and then asked with a suspicious look:

"Wait a minute, you're the boss of Xingyao. Isn't my job a matter of a word from you? How come someone else has taken my place?"

"What are you saying? The company doesn't belong to me alone!" Lin Hao quickly tried to cover up his mistake when he realized he was about to be exposed.

"To tell you the truth, I have shares in Xingyao Group, but I don't have the decision-making power. I promised them I wouldn't interfere with the company's management, so I~!"

Lin Hao sighed helplessly and then downed a can of beer in one gulp.

"Ouch!" Jia Kuan suddenly felt a toothache; how could he be so unlucky?

At this moment, Zhou Yiming also interrupted:

"Who are you trying to impress by acting like this? There are so many people just like you. How can you not experience a crisis when you reach middle age!"

"The key is that you have to want to change it from the bottom of your own heart, right?"

"Change?" Jia Kuan took a big bite of grilled meat and then drank a large gulp of beer before saying:
"What should I change? How should I change it? I'm almost forty years old, what should I change it into?!"

Lin Hao patted Jia Kuan on the shoulder and comforted him, "But your life right now, you're not exactly rich, but you're not poor either!"

“Kuan’er, at least you’re still healthy, aren’t you?” Zhou Yiming said with a heavy expression, “You’ve lost your job, but you still have your wife!”

"But to be honest, Yiming, when you get to our age, the first thing that comes to mind every day when you open your eyes is 'problems'."

"Then it's about solving the problem. Looking around, everyone around us is relying on us, but we can't find anyone to rely on on our own!"

"My parents' health is a problem, my children's education is a problem, my wife is complaining, I'm facing a career plateau, and society doesn't understand me!"

Lin Hao waved his hand and said, "Stop talking, you're making me anxious!"

Zhou Yiming raised a beer can and said, "Come on, let's have a drink for the two of us who're still standing here!"

After taking a sip, Lin Hao said again, "Yiming, I completely agree with one point you made earlier!"

"Healthy, at least for now, we are still very healthy. Do you remember Old Zhao, the really strong guy, who always came to check our dorms when we were in school?"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yiming asked.

"He's gone from the heart attack!" Lin Hao said with a heavy heart.

"When did this happen?" Zhou Yiming asked curiously.

“Last month!” Lin Hao then said with a heavy expression:

"So, Yiming, we really need to take care of ourselves. People like us work overtime every day, stay up all night, and even go out for drinks with clients when we have nothing else to do!"

"From now on, the first thing we need to do is change these bad habits!"

Watching Zhou Yiming and Lin Hao's back-and-forth banter, Jia Kuan felt as if they were talking about him, so he said irritably:

"So, what you two mean is that I at least still have a life left!"

“That’s right!” Lin Hao comforted him, “So Kuan’er, don’t be discouraged, it’s not a big deal, right!”

"If all else fails, we'll start over!" They then began to sing:
"As long as the heart remains~!"

"The dream is here!" Zhou Yiming sang along and raised his glass to toast Jia Kuan.

"They're already feeling really bad, why are they singing like this!" Thinking about his own experience, Jia Kuan felt wronged as he spoke.

"success!"

“Very successful!”

Lin Hao and Zhou Yiming each said a sentence, and finally said in unison, "A great success!"

"What do you mean?!" Jia Kuan was a little confused.

"What? What do you mean?" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Asakura jumped!"

"Tangta jumped!"

"You jump down too!"

"Hahahaha~!" Zhou Yiming laughed so hard he almost passed out.

In the 1976 Japanese film "Manhunt," the villain's classic line refers to the scene where he lures the prosecutor, played by Ken Takakura, to the rooftop of a high-rise building, gives him a central nervous system blocking drug, and then uses hypnotic language to induce him to jump to his death.

"You idiot, are you kidding me?" Jia Kuan reacted instantly upon hearing this, and then said angrily.

"Come on! Let's have a drink!"

"Yes, let's have a drink!"

Seeing that Jia Kuan was still angry, the three of them clinked glasses, and Lin Hao smiled and comforted him:
"This shows that you really love and value this job. You're a promising young man!"

"What exactly happened?!" Jia Kuan asked, unwilling to give up.

"What? What's going on?" Zhou Yiming said with a laugh, "You still haven't realized it!"

"Where did that quick wit of yours go?!" Zhou Yiming reminded him at this moment.

"When you said Lin Hao was the boss of Xingyao, he kept trying to cover it up. I thought he was about to run out of stories, but unfortunately you didn't realize it yet!"

Lin Hao then said with a smile, "At this moment, I'm afraid you'll say, 'If you can't go to Xingyao, then go to the company that Boss Zhou started!'"

"It's a good thing you didn't realize it!" Zhou Yiming said with a smile.

"You two bastards!" Jia Kuan angrily tried to cover it up, "I was just worried and that's why you two fooled me!"
